Hey. Leave me some reviews! Let's go for five-ten come on people!

"I don't see what the big deal is."

"Of course not. That's typical."

"Shut up claws no one was talking to you!"

"I think you were."

"Shut up!"

Koto sighed resting his back on the wall behind him what he would give for these two to get along once. Was it too much to ask for, did hell have to freeze over for these two just to coexist? He was more than happy being the second in command even though he wasn't Natsuo's Sekirei, he'd never go anywhere near that perverted son of a bitch. Haihane teased that he was gay and Benitsubasa was wasting her time trying to show him her affections. 'One day he'll open his eyes' was her resounding comeback every time, and Koto couldn't help but laugh at that. Benitsubasa was a lot of things and anger and denial go hand in hand and those two emotions fueled the little demon.

"It was a mission." Haihane retorted dryly waving her clawed hand nonchalantly as she changed the channel on her eighty inch screen TV. Apparently she thought it was a good idea to turn on the TV, Kami forbid she didn't want her TV shows and all hell would break loose. He didn't have much interest in her TV shows but a few were funny, and he did admit HD was nothing to scoff at depending on the show, and soap operas was not in that category which was what seemed to be on at the moment judging from the hysterical woman speaking at the moment. But it was only fitting for the current situation he dully noted. "I don't know why you're bitching. When we train you bitch, when go out on missions you bitch, when we comeback from the missions you bitch, you bitch." Haihane sighed loudly.

"Why you little!" Benitsubasa lunged at the white haired Sekirei punching a hole through the wall as the clawed Sekirei used her speed, Benitsubasa snarled like a caged animal bounding after Haihane with hell fire in her eyes. "I'll show you a bitch!" Benitsubasa roared aiming a punch for the clawed Sekirei's skull but missed and instead smashed another hole into the wall. But that didn't slow down her pursuit in the least she chased Haihane around the room shouting obscenities that would make the roughest sailor turn green. "Get back here!" There was a loud crack and splitering sound as a oak table shot across the room slamming into the wall almost knocking the TV down from its post.

"Koto-kun why don't you stop them?" Asked his much quieter team mate. She was seated on the couch where the other two previously were seemingly enveloped in the scene at the moment. And not the one going on around them.

"Luna be my guest." Koto retorted with sarcasm in no mood to play the mediator. "I had to keep those two in line on this mission you didn't even bother to come with on. And it was a very trailing affair and I almost lost my patience." He said testily as he folded his arms over his chest sighing as another curse flew across the room followed by a loud boom, cracks, and Haihane's laughter followed by Beni's yells. Luna was a mystery to him on one hand she enjoyed her duties and followed them without an ounce of hesitation and at other times she was completely detached from them like the mission they just got back from. "Speaking of which I'm dying to know why you didn't come with."

"I fight people who break the rules of the game." Luna answered bluntly turning to look at him with a blank expression. "Going into underground fighting rings and hunting down some beast who rips people in half during those things are going on doesn't fall on my category of to do things." She answered bluntly, it was quite simple for her in the end. She was to make sure that nothing funny went on in the Sekirei game and if any Ashikabi and Sekirei pair were trying to escape or broke any rules of the game she'd retaliate. But like mentioned above going on missions like what Koto was on didn't fit her preference and it's not like Minaka cared anyways. Most of them time his head was so far up his ass he didn't know which way was up or down.

"Your category..." Koto said with a loud sigh as he stood up taking a seat a few inches away from her. He was about to get on the category subject but stopped himself it was another one of those things Luna enjoyed doing. Debating. "Stop them." He said his patience wearing thin. As much as he enjoyed a good fight tearing Benitsubasa a new one under the excuse of a spar was something he didn't feel like doing at the moment, no he just wanted to relax and drink some more of this soda. And where the hell was that chef with his food?

"I say we just let them fight." Luna shrugged looking at him with a smile, her eyes filling with mischief. "If we're lucky they'll kill each other.. Then we won't need to deal with this."

"It's not like you do now." He grumbled relaxing into his soft seat despite the crashing sounds around him. Signaling that the squabble between the two did indeed not stop and in fact got worse if it was possible. Dust and debris from broken walls and furniture began to fly all over the place.

"No I don't." Luna replied instantly, laughing. "But I'm not the second in command. That's you and I suggest you get moving and stop those two before they bring down this floor and twenty others because of their ridiculous fighting."

"Are you giving me a suggestion?" Koto asked lowly glaring at her. "I am your leader-"

"Karasuba-sama is my leader."

"And I am in charge right after her!" Koto punched the cushion trying his best not to shred the whole thing in the process.

"That's it you bitch!" Benitsubasa all but screamed bringing her fist back. Her face scrunching and straining from the amount of concentration she was exerting at the moment, slowly a pink glow began to form around her fist until it flared brilliantly almost turning into a solid orb.

"It's not my fault you're a washboard." Haihane shot back.

"Shit Koto-kun!" Luna for the first time since the exchange began showed a look of worry and fear as Benitsubasa plummeted towards Haihane letting out an animal like screech. "She's not really going to use her pulverizer is she!?"

"If I know Beni, which I do. Then yes she is." He growled running forward and jumping up Luna right behind him. He jolted violently feeling every bone in his body go stiff and his lungs contract. He stood frozen in place feeling the air get several degrees colder, a lot colder and it felt heavier like he was going to suffocate. He looked at Luna who's eyes were wide with alarm painted towards the doorway, slowly he turned to look what made her stiffen up and he seen a mane of gray hair. Oh shit... He thought with a quiet gulp not showing any fear. Karasuba stood in the doorway with her arms folded over her chest, her eyes narrowed and trained on the four them, he could see some much anger in those gray slits he could almost taste it.

"What. Is. Going. On?" Karasuba asked her voice calm, not the usual way she barked when there was something like this going on. She shut the door behind her as she strode in keeping her arms folded and eyes narrowed as she stood in front of the TV. Seconds felt like hours for the occupants in the room. Benitsubasa upon spotting her ruthless leader dissipated her energy and looked at everything except her settling to glare at Haihane while the recipient of the glare looked at Karasuba visibly shaking with her only visible eye widened. Luna stood in place frozen in time, she'd rather be anywhere than in here at the moment. How did watching TV and drinking one of those human sodas while she did go so terribly wrong? She looked at Koto who shot her an annoyed look, it all could have been avoided if she stopped these two.. But She would have been dragged into the mess and it'd only get worse. "Stop staring at me like a bunch of fucking imbeciles and answer my question! NOW!" Karasuba's voice rose several levels shaking the walls in the room or maybe it was her killing intent doing that.

"Beni and Haihane were at it again." Luna replied.

"Is that true?" Karasuba looked at Koto, she wasn't big on rank but Koto was the second in command his word carried more weight. But Luna wasn't a liar, in fact she was brutally honest and that landed her in trouble at times.

"Yes Karasuba-sama." Koto replied in a serious tone.

"You two out." She pointed at Koto and Luna, walking towards the door and opening it for them. Koto and Luna didn't hesitate and hurried out of the room shutting the door behind them. With them out of the room Karasuba set her sights on the remaining two, her eyes lingering on Benitsubasa and Haihane for a long moment. "You two just never stop..."

"She started it!" Benitsubasa yelled.

"I only speak the truth! That's all you do it bitch!"

"Shut up mummy!"

"Flat chest skank!"

"WHAT!?"

"Enough!" Karasuba snapped slamming the hilt of her sword across Haihane's face forcing her to fly into a chair and flip over as a result from the power behind the blow. Before Benitsusbasa could register what was going on she cried out in pain slamming back first into the wall opposite of Haihane sliding down in a broken heap coughing harshly. Her clips falling out of her hair causing it to splay over her shoulders and down to the middle of her legs. Karasuba didn't sheath her sword as she stepped closer to the two of them, Haihane just picking herself up onto her knees and Benitsubasa staggering to her feet looking shocked. "I don't give a flying shit who started what! You both trashed this room for the sixth time this week and while I don't care about the crap in here I get tired of having to see this place a mess! Benitsubasa you stay."

"What? Why!?" The pink haired Sekirei cried but a chilling glare shut her up.

"Haihane get out. I'll deal with you later." Karasuba's voice was filled with a thousand threats and she was happy to oblige with her leader's request scrambling out of the room.

"Kara-sama I-" Benitsubasa began but was cut off as she was sent rocketing into the couch, flying through it and slamming against the wall.

"Shut up."

Toyotama exited the bath house at a leisure pace, she wore a pair of shorts and a t short keeping her wrapped in a towel as she strode down the hall. She bit back a yell of anger, damn it Yomi did win she was going to be sitting at his side tonight. But it wasn't a big deal she was one of the people in charge of the party and it was going to be a good one. She made her way to the bath house after Miya cut their planning to an end summoning the hannya mask. They all scurried she went to take a much needed bath.

How wasn't Ryu afraid of that mask anymore? His excuse was he was more afraid of what she could do with a sword, and while she could understand that point of view that mask just sent a chill down her spine. But she was a lot calmer and refreshed now her sparring session with Yomi and slight competition did her wonders she hadn't feel so refreshed since her private night with Ryu. Now that was refreshing.

"Ryu?" She questioned seeing him gazing out from his seat on the veranda. She noted he had that far away look in his eyes. The look of deep concentrated thought that he only showed when he was alone or around Miya. Which was strange considering Miya was scary but whatever helped him she supposed she couldn't get mad about it. She growled quietly noticing he didn't respond or move he just continued staring out into the orange and red sky, she dully noted it would be night time soon. It is one of those times. She thought as she quietly walked next to him plopping down with a huff. "Ryu."

"Hey Toyotama." He said a second later turning his head with a soft smile. "You're looking well."

"That spar with Yomi helped me loosen up." She replied letting out a small sigh as she yanked the towel off of her skull shaking her head several times ignoring Ryu's surprised cries as her forest green locks flew into him tracing against his cheeks and neck. With a snap she threw her head back, her hair following her in one smooth motion. Ryu wiped a few beads of water from his cheek with his thumb, glancing back up at the sky for a moment getting that far away look again. "Ryu?" Toyotama asked her voice quiet as she rested her head on his shoulder leaning into him with a content sigh. "What's troubling you? Tell me." Unlike his other Sekirei she gave him a rather dry look but her eyes were glistening with worry. He rarely got like this.

"I don't know..." Ryu said his voice barely above a whisper.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Toyotama gave him a light smack on the back of the head. "How am I supposed to help you?"

"Yomi would have a fit." Ryu said with a chuckle rubbing the spot where she smacked him although it didn't hurt it was just to remind himself. Yomi didn't take a liking to Toyotama giving him punches and smack upside the head, although those were much harder whenever Yomi would vocalize her objections. Things got terribly heated once between them which Miya then got involved subduing both of them with her boken in a split second. "I don't know... I'm just..." He paused struggling to come up with the right words. "I guess I'm sort of lost..."

"You can tell me." Toyotama said quietly not meeting his gaze as she said this instead she looked up at the sky like he was. She leaned into his warmth tempted to just rest her head on his lap. "Is about the game? Winging us? The rogue Sekirei on the loose?" She felt him stiffen slightly but he didn't respond, she nodded to herself well she hit the nail on the head or multiple heads or nails in this case. She couldn't read Ryu as good as Uzume or Miya but she did know when something was seriously troubling him. "You know what let's have sex."

"Excuse me... What?" Ryu said with slightly wide eyes. He was in a serious mental debate and that whole train of thought was lost, and he doubted there was anyway to get it back. He suppressed a curse when he felt himself stiffen below his legs ever so slightly. "Uzume has her night tonight. Although with this party I doubt she'll be able to stand yet alone do that." He chuckled shaking his head and Miya called him a lecher she had no idea just what these woman did. "And then Yomi is after."

"Ryu-kun!" A voice broke them both out of their conversation. Toyotama could only growl in annoyance as she whirled around looking at Hari with burning anger but the cheerful Sekirei ignored it. Instead she ran towards Ryu wrapping him in a hug and began shaking, he looked at Toyotama for support but she merely shrugged getting up and giving him a I'll be in my room speech and sauntered back into the Inn leaving a distraught Hari in his arms.

"Not that I mind bear hugs Hari.. But what's wrong?" Ryu was carefully. There was very little that could get to the cheerful bundle known as Hari, fighting was the first and most effective way which he was sure nobody was doing because he'd hear yelling no doubt. And he knew which of his Sekirei bantered back and forth and Toyotama couldn't be one now if that was the case since she was here.. That left one or two more but he wasn't going to jump to conclusions just yet. Hari got a hold of herself slowing down her breathing and wiping her eyes a few times her big brown eyes locking onto his. And for a moment he felt himself almost cave.

"Ahiko-chan won't try on the clothes and shoes I want!" She wailed with a pout holding onto him tighter. Ryu sighed softly rubbing her back with his hand trying to comfort her. He could only imagine what Hari wanted Ahiko to wear probably a skirt and pair of high heels or boots and maybe a low cut shirt, silently and mentally he shook his head. Ahiko wasn't going to wear that and even if she did it wouldn't be for long that just showed too much skin and it really wasn't her look, but she did anything for Hari he dared to say that there was love on some scale albeit not the same as lovers but more like sisters and close friends.

"Hari. What did you layout for her?" Ryu questioned softly, he never felt so weird until now. Why was he tip toeing around asking about clothes and shoes?

"Well..." Hari took a moment to think. "First I had this pair of cute heels out for her with a skirt and low collar shirt. Like the one I was wearing when you winged me that one day. But she said no to that.. So I gave her a chinese styled dress instead.." An image of Mitsuki in the yellow and black dress came to his mind but he pushed the thought away, if there was one thing that got his blood boiling it was the thought of that blonde. "And.. Okay it's a little short.. To the top of her thighs, but it doesn't show her underwear or her butt! And I had these stockings to match and so her legs wouldn't be exposed!" Hari seemed very distraught over the entire thing which was amusing and a little unnerving, the way she was acting he thought someone broke into the Inn. But then again Miya would take care of that before it even happened. "She has to look nice for you." Hari puffed her cheeks out pulling away slightly to look into his eyes.

"Tell you what." Ryu said quietly, recalling doing the same with Kusano when he was sneaking her treats behind Miya's back. "Tell her that I'll be up there sometime tonight or tomorrow night and she has to wear whatever you put out for her. Tell her I want her to look very nice and pretty."

"What if she says no again?"

"She won't trust me."

"Thank you!" Hari exclaimed cheerfully smashing her lips onto his in a heated and passionate kiss sliding her tongue into his mouth as they battled for domination. Hari was glad to let him win after a few seconds melting her body with his as she submitted happily grabbing a handful of hair in each hand parting her lips more allowing him full access. They mashed their lips tightly before breaking contact Hari breathing heavily with a blush on her cheeks as she rested her hands on his chest staring deeply into his eyes. Ryu's breathing was slightly labored as he stared into her milky brown orbs shining with so much affection, love, and a hidden lust. "You're a very good kisser you know that Ryu-kun?" She asked her blush deepening as she hid her face in his chest. "I read so much in books but wow..."

"Really?" Ryu asked kissing the top of her head. She was way too adorable when she got flustered like this.

"Yeah." She shamelessly admitted. Though he knew Hari found nothing wrong with reading several books concerning the art and way of intercourse. At times she seemed so innocent, and she was, but she knew way too much about intimacy. And he was almost certain that would land him in the dog house with Miya and that wasn't fun by any means. "I have to go!" She suddenly exclaimed darting away from him leaving a cloud of smoke behind, Ryu blinked a few times before shaking his head.

Sekirei... He thought dully shaking his head slowly. I don't know what to think anymore.

Haruka looked in shock and surprise as he took in the massive Maison Izumo. It was the biggest building on the block, hell in the entire north sector it stood tall like a mountain. He glanced at Minato with a raised eyebrow then looked back at the Inn noticing it was getting noisier. "What's going on?"

Minato laughed sheepishly. "I'm not exactly sure." He scratched the back of his head. If it was that noisy he could only imagine how Ryu was dealing with it. He froze feeling his throat clench with a lump, Musubi glanced at him for a moment tilting her head to the side as she observed him going about his strange behavior.

"What's wrong Minato-san?"

"Yeah. Why are you shaking?" Haruka seconded with a small frown.

"MINATO!" Tsukiumi's voice broke out like an air siren sending a jolt through everyone within a five mile radius even Musubi who was normally oblivious to such undercurrents was looking pensive as the front door slammed open. Tsukiumi growled as she set her eyes on Minato and Musubi.. Musubi that bloody Musubi always dragging him around where the hell does she get off? Her blonde locks waved violently in a ripple of invisible energy the air shifted to a few degrees cooler.

"Another Sekirei..." Kuno cried quietly clutching onto Haruka's shirt with teary eyes.

"Tsukiumi just let me explain!" Minato cried just as a sphere of water crashed into him, he felt the air rush from his lungs as he was flung back a few feet skidding to a stop on his back. He sucked in a breath wincing from the sharp pain but was relieved he didn't have a cracked or broken rib, he sat up slowly shaking his head a few times.

"You can't hurt Minato-san!" Musubi shouted in outrage sliding in front of him taking a stance. "A real wife would never hurt her husband!"

"You!" Tsukiumi snapped bolting right for Musubi. "You concubine I am the real wife!" Musubi showed no hesitation in rushing towards her with one fist pulled back.

"Haruka-sama.." Kuno exclaimed in fright asa gust of wind whipped around them. "Maybe we should go."

"Not a chance." He said annoyingly turning to Minato. "You stop them!"

"Me!?" Minato exclaimed.

"They are your Sekirei tell them to stop."

"I..."

There was a violent gust of wind and a blinding flash of light followed by the all too familiar sounds of of a sheath making contact with flesh. Musubi and Tsukiumi both crumbled to the ground in a bruised heap both of them massaging their ribs and skulls wincing every few seconds. The pain only got worse the more they rubbed, Tsukiumi glared up ready to attack whoever dared to interfere. But was met by the piercing gaze of Miya her brows knitted together as she stared at her and Musubi. "What are you doing?" She asked her voice calm as a smile spread on her face.

"We were-" Tsuikiumi stared oblivious to Miya's growing anger.

"It doesn't matter why.. I told you there is no violence allowed here, remember?" Miya tilted her head with a small smile, her hannya mask flaring into existence hissing with red eyes and smoke coming out of its canine filled maw but she wasn't done there. Several more formed hissing and growling loudly stifling the air and making it much colder. Musubi and Tsukiumi shrunk down instantly almost as fast as Minato and his two cohorts. Their knees meant the pavement and they all wanted to huddle together and cry themselves to death, and Kuno looked ready to burst into tears at any moment.

"What's all the noise about?" Ryu asked as he stepped in the doorway, the breath leaving his lungs as he seen dozens of hannya masks varying in size but all of them more menacing than the next.

"It was probably Tsukiumi. You know how she gets." Uzume chimed in, gasping and shuddering at the same time as she clutched the sleeve of Ryu's kimono pulling herself behind him in case Miya lashed out. "Damn, Miya is mad." Uzume whispered hoping the miko couldn't hear her gossip, Ryu simply nodded with a worried expression he rarely seen Miya get this mad, he glanced around noticing craters and puddles of water.

"I think those two were at it again." Ryu whispered looking at Musubi and Tsukiumi hugging onto a shivering Minato.

"Oh? And what gave you that assumption?" Uzume asked her voice filled with sarcasm.

"Craters and puddles." Ryu muttered.

"Oh. Ryu-kun I'm sorry." Miya said relinquishing her dark aura allowing everyone to breathe. There was collective inhale and exhale that was almost as loud as car horn, slowly each party stood back up to their feet. Minato's two Sekirei looking guilty but also glaring at each other as they felt so, they easily forgot the punishment when there was one trying to make an advance. Miya rested her cheek in her hand as she sauntered towards him looking back at the two groups, "I don't know what came over me, seeing my front yard looking so... Disheveled it must have upset me."

"It's okay Miya." Ryu smiled easily resisting the urge to pull her into a hug and nuzzle his nose in her lavender scented hair. No way were they going to have such a display of affection in the open.

"Minato. Who are these two?" Miya looked at the ronin with a curious gaze.

"I'm Haruka." The brown haired teen nervously spoke up. After that display of power, or whatever those masks were he was going to be polite. No need to be rude or informal if he would experience that again. "And this is Kuno. Minato mentioned that you may have a room for us to stay in. We won't be long just a few days."

"Oh he did?" Miya asked her hannya blazing back into existence. "Ryu-kun?"

"Yeah?" He asked nervously.

"Please show Haruka and Kuno into the guest room... Things are going to get much more lively."

"The more the merrier I say!" Uzume exclaimed happily wrapping her arms around Ryu's neck leaving him a big kiss on his cheek refusing to let go. "We'll have a sake drinking contest."

"Please don't mind her..." Ryu said as he gestured for Haruka and Kuno to follow him.

Haruka looked at Minato for a long moment eyes narrowing in question the second year ronin nodded his head slowly with a reassuring look. He couldn't blame Haruka Ryu looked very imposing with those piercing eyes and thick long hair.

"But Ryu-kun I've never seen you drunk. You have to play with us tonight!"

"If it'll shut you up fine." Ryu said with a loud sigh prying Uzume loose from his back hearing her feet thud onto the floor behind him.

"Awesome!" Uzume cheered running passed him and cutting a corner sharply. Haruka and Kuno couldn't help but wonder what was going on the entire time but they were safe. And for that Haruka slowly relaxed his guard as he glanced around for a few long moments.

Minato sighed heavily as she climbed up the stairs one by one. He never felt more drained than he did these last few weeks. His entire life was thrown into a tailspin and he really had no say in the matter, two of those tailspins were currently cleaning up the front yard. Tsukiumi didn't take too kindly to being ordered to clean but Miya had a way with words... And was scary as shit. Needless to say the fiery blonde was cleaning and Musubi she didn't dare to object and readily agreed, she knew Miya was strong from their morning spars.

He was at least happy Haruka and Kuno were safe, for the moment. He couldn't help but feel a little paranoid about this entire thing, Minaka's warning haunted him to this day and he didn't want to push his luck. Hell, he didn't want to be a part of this if he was to be honest but it was too late to turn back now. It's not like he could just leave them like he could with a human girl, not that they ever gave him the time of day, he was bonded to them in a sense, but he still didn't know anything about that bond.

He sighed again as he stopped in front of Matsu's door knocking on it lightly. Well, there was nothing else he could do except to follow through on the plan. And he knew Matsu was the best person to come to, he found himself almost drawn to her. Despite her pervy and shameless nature there was just something about her, how she wanted to help him. But he fearfully reminded himself she wasn't his, she was Ryu's and he was just as scary as Miya, although that was during a spar. A spar...

"Minato-tan?" Matsu opened the door slightly a small frown on her face. In all honesty she didn't really want Minato there at the moment, for some reason Ryu was very, very displeased she got so... Comfortable with him, and there was the fact she tried to seduce him a few times. She didn't take her Ashikabi for the jealous type, so it couldn't be that there was a different reason, there had to be. Ryu didn't waste his energy on trivial things such as being jealous, but if it was about harm coming to her... "What's up?"

"Umm.." He paused looking uncomfortable, his eyes darting to the windows. He sped into her room taking a seat on the futon. "I have to ask you a question.."

"Okay?" Matsu shut her door, crawling onto her futon and sitting with her legs folded under her. Her fingers flashed across the keyboard, getting back to her task of tracing any defeated Sekirei recently. She was making steady progress and she had a hunch... Or more of a bad premonition. She wasn't the fighting type this entire ordeal reeked of danger. "What can Matsu-tan do for you?"

Minato ignored the knee high boots she was wearing, though it was hard. He wasn't a pervert, but he couldn't help but look. Shaking his head and thought away he frowned slightly. "Is it possible... To escape the... Capitol...?"

Matsu's eyes widened slightly her mouth dropping forming a small o before she shut it. Hearing Ryu teasing her about catching bugs and eating spiders. She never ate a spider before so she wasn't sure where he got that from. "Escape the capitol...?" She felt her breath hitch. "Are you serious?"

Minato nodded with a grim, but determined expression.

"I need to speak with whoever wants this..."

Karasuba let the steaming water relax her sore muscles. Another day of training for eight hours, another day of killing loud mouthed politicians, another day of having to deal with Benitsubasa and Haihane. She needed to kill someone or something, she didn't mind skewering those loud mouths who didn't know when to shut up even if their life depended on it. The irony in that. Of course she could go out and find an unlucky Sekirei but she needed a bath, she increased the intensity of her training and even Luna and Koto actually sparred against her. Which was rare considering she was the Number 04. The Black Sekirei. MBI'S Wolf. And it wasn't a fancy moniker. "Natsuo-kun, I wasn't expecting to see you so soon. Did something come up?" Karasuba looked at Luna across from her, the curvy woman's body completely submerged the water coming up to the bottom of her mouth.

"Hmmm." The glasses wearing man hummed pleasantly. "I'm sorry about Beni-kun's and Haihane-kun's behavior earlier Karasuba-san." He smiled apologetically seeing her give one nod. "Moving forward.. I've heard some interesting news."

"Is it about the tournaments?" Koto asked quickly, he was going to continue that investigation and come face to face with that wild haired man. He wanted answers and he was going to get them one way or another.

Luna just rolled her eyes. She didn't know why he was bothering, they weren't a side service.

"Apparently there's an Ashikabi and Sekirei pair that plan to escape the capitol." Natsuo's smile widened slightly.

Koto's eyes snapped to the glasses wearing man narrowing to slits. "Surely you're joking..." MBI's troops already had every exit, port, and station locked down that alone should discourage anyone, it was literally impossible for the pair to escape. It was pointless, inane, ridiculous.

"Natsuo never jokes about this kind of thing." Luna said after a moment her own eyes narrowed as she rose from the water slightly keeping her breasts under the warm liquid. "What should we do?"

"Let's wait." Karasuba said with that sadistic smirk on her face. "I want to see how this plays out."

"Yes I'd have to agree." Natsuo chimed in. "And Koto-san. Yes there will be another one taking place in just a few days, but you should know your duty comes before anything else."

Koto simply nodded.

Things are getting more interesting... Karasuba's smirk widened.

"Karasuba-sama are you okay?" Luna asked.

She didn't respond.

"I'm serious that smirk is really giving me the creeps."

"I'm fine."

"See." Koto muttered submerging himself.
